Pixelache Wikimedians-in-residence 2022: Podcasts about Wikimedia & grassroots cultural organisations meeting, conversing, and getting to know-each other again as long-lost friends

In this podcast collection Andrew Gryf Paterson, long term member of Pixelache Festival converses in 4-parts with Florence Devouard, Wikimedian in Residence with the World Intellectual Property Organization, former chair of Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, and involved in numerous collaborations in Africa. She tells of her experience as an invited guest of Pixelache in 2005, and her wider Wikimedia work then and now. We offer ideas about how creative organisations can develop their Wikipedia presence.

In summary, our process discusses and reflect upon the long parallel history -20 years- of Pixelache Helsinki Festival and transdisciplinary platform, which in the first decade has promoted open culture, alongside the time when Wikimedia methodologies were developing. Where have these approaches overlapped, gone hand-in-hand and then diverged. We wish to reconcile in ambitions with both the Wikimedia and Creative Commons anniversaries.

Pixelache Helsinki over the year 2022 has worked on their archival process and reflections, and this Wikimedia Foundation rapid grant-supported project updates skills and understanding within our membership, interested Finnish and regional peers, as well as an international example for other similar cultural associations involved in network culture.

These podcasts are released with open licenses in a series feature Florence Devouard, Toni Sant, Rebecca O’Neill, Nikki Zeuner, Z. Blace and Andrew Gryf Paterson, recorded between November 2022 and January 2023. 

These residencies are a follow on from the initial conversation between Z. Blace and Rebecca O’Neill on open archiving practices as part of Pixelache Helsinki Festival #Burn____ in June 2021, and began with #OpenMICwithPixelache Vorspiel event of CTM/Transmediale festivals in February 2022.

The process was funded by the rapid grant of the Wikimedia Foundation, and with inkind support of Pixelache Helsinki Festival. The Wikimedians-in-residence process is part of Pixelache’s cultural programme reflecting upon 20 years of activity.

Pixelache is annually supported by TAIKE (Arts Promotion Centre Finland), and Helsinki City.
